¥/e are always glad to see the reports of school natural 

 history soeieties, and there can be no doubt that such 

 societies, when well conducted by a master witii a taste for 

 natural history, do a great deal to encourage a love of 

 ornithology. Mr. J. H. Owen, who is a member of our 

 Union, is the President of the Felstead society, and his 

 beautiful photographic work is well known to most of us. 

 In the present issue is an article on photographing the 

 Great Crested Grebe and some notes on the nesting-habits, 

 illustrated by photographs taken on Aston Lake in Shropshire 

 by Mr. Owen. There are also two general reports on the 

 bird-life observed near Felstead in ] 919-20 and 1920-21. 

 In this work Mr. Owen seems to have been indebted to 

 many of his pupils for help.
